Pedro Tello Rodriguez Jr., 25, was arrested and charged with deadly conduct after allegedly shooting the two teens. The shooting occurred after the girls had finished practice and went to a carpool lot. Heather Roth, a cheerleader with the Woodlands Elite Cheer Co., said she got out of her friend’s car and opened the door to a car she thought was her own, but a man was inside. The man started shooting when Roth apologized, according to her account.
